Hi all,
This iPad user just borrowed a friend's Samsung Note 10.1 tablet to test Litchi out, but immediately came a cropper trying to mount it on the RC.
The USB socket is on the bottom edge and the plug is too big to fit the "slot" on the tablet holder.

What have you all done to overcome this problem?

Cheers,
GDS

Either mount it off-centre or widen the gap using something like a dremmel *

* other rotary tools are available

That tablet is heavy, barely fits in the holder, basically have to have it wide open and even then stretch it. I wouldn't want to mount it off center.  
I went with "dremel", although in my case I used a soldering iron.

Works well, it's just too heavy for my taste, I'd rather have an 8" or so tablet, but I use my note phone.

GDS,
Do yourself a favor and do something like this:

Quick, down and dirty clip of my home-made mounting system for my P2 & P3 Pads and Phones. Used mostly RAM mount stuff. I can change the pad orientation in every direction. I can change the distance that the device is from the RC. I can change devices and RC's in seconds. I've been using this system for over a year and I simply love it. I have also modified sunshades to work with it.
